Quotes

• “My father has asked me to be the fourth corner at the Joy Luck Club. I am to replace my mother, whose seat at the mah jong table has been empty since she died two months ago. My father thinks she was killed by her own thoughts.”
• “Over the years, she told me the same story, except for the ending, which grew darker, casting long shadows into her life, and eventually into mine.”
• “Your father is not my first husband. You are not those babies.”
• “Even though I was young, I could see the pain of the flesh and the worth of the pain.”
• “I was no longer scared. I could see what was inside me.”
• “After the gold was removed from my body I felt lighter, more free. They say this is what happens if you lack metal. You begin to think as an independent person.”
